When I cook something for dieters, I'm trying not to cook dishes which scream "diet." Many restaurant and food manufacturers offer low calorie menus or products for health conscious customers, and I've tried them. Some of them are okay, but sadly most of them are like eating cardboard. Yuck! Stop eating tasteless, boring "diet foods." Those foods may fill you up for a short while, but they don't satisfy you. Eventually you'll be stressed out. Being on a diet or eating healthy doesn't mean you have to give up on tasty foods. Let's admit. We love to eat, don't we? So, here is a recipe for those who care about their health but still want to enjoy eating.
You don't need to season with salt. Prosciutto and gorgonzola give enough saltiness to the chicken. If you are worried about sodium intake and would like to make it less salty, adjust the amount of gorgonzola.
